Mass Effect hiatus speculation and reactions (consolidated thread)

i know.

If this keeps spreading, eventually something legit will have to be announced to stop the speculation from getting out of hand.

They asked EA for a response in the article and all the person who responded had to say was that they still supported the game/franchise, or they'd have details about the what's coming next at a future date, or anything positive in support.  They could have shut this down first day.

EA should lend the franchise to Obsidian to play with it a little.

The people who call others "SJWs" can't read other people's minds, so they don't know why a specific person is arguing for equality and representation in gaming.  That's why I'm saying "SJW" is a pejorative that was created to belittle anyone who wants to see more LGBT or non-white main characters.  The anti-SJWs don't care what a person's true motivation is; they just want to bully others and shut them up, and calling those who want representation in gaming (or any other venue in life) an "SJW" is a tactic to do that.

As a straight, mostly white male gamer myself, I agree that BioWare gets carried away with their goals of equality and inclusivity, but I'm not threatened by non-straight, non-white characters and "ugly" female characters (like the anti-SJWs keep saying that Peebee and Cora are).

I don't find Cora or PeeBee to be ugly to be honest. I think they are better looking than most of the female companions in the OT besides Liara. 

Yeah once the bigger names start talking, they need to have more than a subtle statement from EA.

Saying that we'll see good things form other projects in the future, while not mentioning ME:A is shutting it down?  Offering support for ME:A is shutting it down.  Hell, just saying the report is false is shutting it down.  Marketing speak in response to a direct question when you can give a specific answer of those reports are false does the opposite.

I think it will be absolutely enough just to confirm that they are still working on / planning MEA SP DLC. That will be a proof that they don't wanna abandon MEA after next patch.

We so far have an idea from Cora's voice actress that a DLC is possibly in the works, and Gamble said everything already planned for MEA is still happening, so now it's a wait and see.

No one knows if it's a DLC, but Cora's actress saying she's back in the studio voicing Cora left people speculating, and Gamble said everything planned was still happening. We have to assume for now it means whatever they are working on is going to happen (m/m stuff, more patches, DLC). Anything after what was already planned is not likely for the moment.
